[EverythingFallsApart]

Yo! I have a cheap n1 knockoff that's completly burned out and sounding horrible. Terrribly loud also. What muffler can you guys reccomend that will that will quiet things down to a decent level but still have the performance gain. I have 2 1/2" pipe. THanks

go with the Megan racing N1 muffler with 2.5 inlet. I have on my 7mge in a cressida and it sounds awsome.

how old is it? My n1 knock off sounded great for a few months then it got louder and louder and now it's done.

Nope, 4x9" oval. It's a 3" in, 3" out stainless. Purchased for $80 shipped via Ebay. As for performance, I had a Flowmaster and sincw I switched to the Magnaflow, I can now easily hit fuel cut.

Back when I had an N/A and no $$ and wanted a cheap muffler I picked up a turbo muffler for $5 from a junk yard Sounded great too not much performance. I believe I had a muffler shop make a straight pipe to replace resonator all the way to the muffler which helped a bit. And a cheapo test pipe to replace a cat too. Been too long to remember exactly but you get the idea.

4 months i guess, it comes with a silencer too.

yeah mine sounded good at first too. I think the megan is probably better then what I got but I want something quieter that will last longer this time around.

I did a lot of looking on the net, and came up with this (reasonable cost) set up.
2.5" pipe from cat back to muffler with least amount of bends as possible. Magnaflow 14" long, 4" high, 9" wide aluminized steel. (check their website out). Center out, offset in. It was WAY TO LOUD !!! (I thought that with the packing in it, it would be quieter than those round ones I hear on the Hondas).
So... I had a 24" long, 4" diameter strait thru glasspack put in at the straightest run (under the middle of car). Now I have a 'free flow' system, with a really nice deep tone.
Also, before I put the center glasspack in, the low end torque suffered. A non-turbo needs some exhaust back pressure to give it lowend torque. I chose a 2.5" to open it up for those high-speed open roads out here in the Mojave Desert. I still have plenty of low end power.
To do over again, I would choose one of those 3 or 4 chambered ones with packing. The 'to loud' problem as I see it is that the muffler is at the end of the system.
